VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
What the strceis Arc For.

To the Editor Of the Appeal
Speaking of payemcnis, street cars and
bad roads. think il cxpcdent that the
city engineer and council should be adj.
yised Of some very elementary equities
which they have grieyously ignored Of late.
1t may be safely said that the streets, In
GLIDING the sidewalks, belong TO the pub
lie, and arr dedicated Tor public Use, pri-
marily to walk on and TO drive on. A
secondary use Of them has been acquired
byEft, bypurchase, by usurpation, through
charters, etc. These secondary uses re-
ferred 10 arr such rs are exercised by street
car companies, dummy railroads, etc.
Now, n common sense view Of the matter
would be that the primary, the inalienable
right is that Of the general public 10 walk
or drive over thesc streets without serious
Inconvenience or hazard oi injury by any
occupancy thereof not granted or contcm-
plated In their original their primary ded-
ication as streets or public highways.
But II may he admitted that the use Of
these streets by street railways. las be-
come a matter 81 commanding public
utility, aud that they have fairly acquired
the right 10 Use them: hut the question
now put to the city fathers and the city
engineer In particular, u.s. What airs the
reasonable conditions upon which they
may be 80 used by street railways, dummy
roads, etc.2 l will answer for them in
part. First-lf street Is 40 narrow that
Il cannot be safely and conveniently used
for any purpose not contemplated in the
original act Of dedication. then the right 10

Sccond-lf the street Is wide enough 10
allow such use. safely aud with reasonable
convenience, then street cars and railroads
may, II they have acquired such n right,
by gift or purchase, occupy aud use the
street accordingly.
Now, the practical point falls mainly
under the control of the city engineer,
and now, mayor, will YOU please notice
your distribution Of right of way nj all
the narrow and crowded streets, and par.
ticularly nj the junction Of Union and
Marshall avenues. You will find that at
this point the sidewalks are unnecessarily

wide apart and double, regardless Of pub

is that the grand drive contemplated out
Union avenue meets at this point, and
thence on 10 the hospital, a complete re-
peal, and the use of this street by per-

The People Think Thew Ara IGNORED Too


The People Think They Arc Ignored Too
Much.
HALIFAX, N g., Oct. 4.-It is authorizes
lively stated here that Newfoundland will
not be allowed even an unofficial representa-.
oon on the fishery commission. This is ex-
asperating to the people. of that colony, who
warmly resent the way they are being liz
nored and isolated by the imperial govern
ment They comfort themselves, however,
by the thought that, though the commission
proposes a settlement, the imper ial author
tiles cannot force it upon Newfoundland.
The st. Johns Mercury, commenting upon
the question, says: I'm any event the treaty
must be submitted to our legislature as far
as its operations here are concerned, and il
will be for US to decide whether it will be for
our interests to accept or reject. None Of
our maritime or territorial rights can bs
disposed OF contrary to the decision Of the
legislature"
The Mercury adds that the basis of nego-
tiations must be the treaty of 1918.
The Harbor de Grace Standard says that
IL the British commissioners can't get free
fish, the sooner Newfoundland stringentsy
en;orces the bait act, both against American
and French fishermen, the better. 1t i'm
